For the second year in a row, the White House has failed to acknowledge Pride Month — and people aren't happy

The White House has failed to acknowledge the month and its significance to the LGBTQ community.

People are not surprised.

It has been June for a week now, and President Donald Trump and the White House have, for the second year in a row, ignored Pride Month, the annual celebration of LGBTQ history and community.

Instead, following a pattern established last year, the White House has, instead, declared June 2018 Great Outdoors Month, National Caribbean-American Heritage Month, National Ocean Month, National Home Ownership Month, and African-American Music Appreciation Month.

In January, the White House created a religious liberty division, which defends healthcare workers with religious objections to treating LGBTQ patients. Then in February, the Trump administration halted and reversed Obama-era regulations in the health department that were intended to protect LGBTQ patients and workers. Trump also removed LGBTQ-friendly language from documents, and reassigned the senior adviser dedicated to LGBTQ health.

All of this seems to contradict Trump's June 2016 campaign promise to be an advocate for the LGBTQ community.

"Thank you to the LGBTQ community! I will fight for you while Hillary brings in more people that will threaten your freedoms and beliefs," he once tweeted.

But people won't let the government's lack of recognition to put a damper on Pride, which is celebrated every June in commemoration of the 1969 Stonewall Riots. Pride parades and celebrations will happen all over the world this month — and this year for the first time even in Antarctica.
